An Ulterior Motive
From Mrs. General Tallboys: Tales of all Countries, Second Series, 1863 | Anthony Trollope (1815-1882)
Why Mrs. General Tallboys first made up her mind to pass the winter of 1859 at Rome I never clearly understood. To myself she explained her purposes, soon after her arrival at the Eternal City, by declaring, in her own enthusiastic manner, that she was inspired by a burning desire to drink fresh

—Ballades in Blue China
Some men to carriages aspire;
On some the costly hansoms wait;
Some seek a fly, on job or hire;
Some mount the trotting steed, elate.
